Backup Up the Middle

Mark Ellis broke his index finger in his ninth inning at bat yesterday and is out of action.

"It puts a real damper on the team's win," A's general manager Billy Beane said even before the team got the final diagnosis. "It's a concern. We've already lost half our infield. Mark's presence is critical."

D'Angelo Jimenez takes over for Mark. Jimenez isn't much of a hitter, but he can draw a walk. For his career he's batting .264 with a .349 OBA. Why am I not surprised the A's have someone like that on their bench?
